These days are flying by so quickly! This is a recap of the Festival of Sukkot celebrated the first week of October. This day is special, since my parents visited for a while. They didn't stay long, but did enjoy touring the campsite. We took a walk to the lake.

alt

Today we visited the small fishing pond on the property. My parents brought our fishing poles (since we forgot them) and the children were very happy about it. After we lovingly sent off the parents, we spent some time at the fishing pond.

alt

The children had some good success catching fish! We are allowed to keep the fish and we are going to enjoy them as a snack! I brought our bible reading for the day with us to the pond.

alt

During the festival, we've been reading a few chapters of Deuteronomy each day. Amazingly, we were reading the chapter about clean and unclean animals fit for eating, while we were fishing!

alt

All that have fins and scales, ye shall eat

It's a beautiful little fishing pond and it was a relaxing time in the sunshine.

alt

We enjoyed "Taco Tuesday" in the big tent - and we brought a special treat for everyone: a big bottle of root beer, our family's favorite.

alt

After diner, the children spent the evening at the playground.

alt

The days are going by quickly and it's amazing to think this experience is almost half-way over. We are creating memories for ourselves and for our children that will last a life-time and encourage us to walk in the good path, associating obedience with fond memories and joy. And we get to look forward to next year!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

alt

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books. I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.
